I'll listen to just about anything, except country (nothing against those who like country, I just don't happen to like it, is all) and most rap (most rap is simply done for shock value, with no concerns about quality, but there is some good stuff out there). For what I actually buy, I tend to go for things which are a bit out of the ordinary and defy easy classification, like Rusted Root, Sublime, and The Flaming Lips, among others. Although I do also have some Billy Joel, since I just really like his music for some reason.
Speaking of The Flaming Lips, though, I have to plug one of their albums. It's called 'Zaireeka,' and looks like a 4-CD set. However, all four CDs are one album; you need four CD players to play it rihgt (although you can just use two or three, but the effect isn't the same). Four CDs, with separate left and right sounds on each means eight separate sound sources, playing different but realted music. Truly something out of the ordinary. Sorry for the plug, but I was really impressed by this, and it takes a lot to impress me.

P.S., this really should go to Community, which means I'll probably not see it again, so if anyone replies to my post, please email me to say so, or I'll never end up reasing your reply.
